Citizen journalist joins BBC for week-long experiment

Citizen journalist Frankie Roberto is spending a week in the offices of the BBC News website for a unique experiment...

Throughout the week, I'll be writing my own stories and publishing on the BBC website, as well as outside "open source" sites such as Wikinews.

I'll be looking at the news stories of the day, and doing my best to make sense of them. I'll be using secondary sources, drawing upon information confirmed by other news sources, and doing some of my own research, and going out and talking to people in and around London.

The BBC has offered me a desk to work from, and I'll be publishing a day-by-day diary of how the "experiment" is going. All my work will be published under a Creative Commons licence - these licences act as a form of copyright notice which allow others to freely distribute and often modify the text, in the manner of "open source" software.
